I did a weekend at Road Atlanta in the rain. Learned a lot, but mostly learned, I won't be tracking this car in the rain anymore. Its just too squirrely and I don't enjoy it. I can handle the wet just fine, but its more work than fun, and therefore, there is no point to doing it.

What I did do though, was always stay a gear higher than normal, and brake much earlier.
